I fed him a live hopper sunday and he ate fine. I gave him two days to relax I took him out yesterday he seemed fine. I'm new to this and just not sure what to expect.
What are your temps in the tank like? The basking spot should be around 88-92 °F and the cool side around 78-80 °F. Do you have a Thermostat for your heat source? He is most likely just preferring the cool side. But unless you know your temps it would be hard to tell.
